What The Warren Center Inc does
Mission
Every day, The Warren Center provides professional evaluations, therapy services and support to children and families impacted with developmental delays and disabilities. Advocating, serving and empowering our clients has been at the heart of our nonprofit agency since it was formed over fifty years ago. What began as a way for parents to have access to resources their children needed, is now a place of hope and support that thousands of families have received.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Typically, over 3,500 families each year depend on The Warren Center to be "first responders" that offer early detection and intervention strategies for their children as well as needed help and guidance for any and all family needs. The Warren Center provides assessments for children birth to 5 years of age to determine the needs of each individual child. Therapy is tailored to each childs needs, as no two children are the same. We serve our clients needs through the following programs and services:EARLY CHILDHOOD INTERVENTION (ECI) This program serves children from birth to three years old who have delays or disabilities in communication, cognition, social/emotional, adaptive/self-help, feeding or gross/fine motor skills. Individual therapy is provided in the childs natural environment with an emphasis on parent coaching, education, and partnering with the family to provide individualized therapeutic strategies within the context of everyday routines. In addition to therapy services, every family is provided education and guidance on community resources and training on how to be the best advocate for their child. We serve the entire North Dallas County area which includes 48 zip…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $2.8M to $4.1M (+44%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 32% · 2018 35% · 2019 29% · 2020 42% · 2021 39% · 2022 36% · 2023 34% · 2024 37% · 2025 32%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 24 funders, grant income rose $179k → $709k.
14 of 57 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 33% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of THE WARREN CENTER INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 57 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
THE WARREN CENTER INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
65% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund THE WARREN CENTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 51% · 2019 23% · 2020 26% · 2021 26% · 2022 44% · 2023 28% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
32% of THE WARREN CENTER INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 51% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
96% of THE WARREN CENTER INC's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
